Well the whole world knows what China did...they kept their outbreak a secret... until it became too widespread to do anything about it.
Everyone held their nose and looked the other way when doing business with them... prison labor, slave labor, secrecy and etc.

Now the price is clear what this kind of behavior costs. And people have noticed...and are behaving appropriately for their behavior.

They don't like it...being the bad kid on the block...but tough!
 
I am not sure about the idea the Chinese were keeping it secret.
I know Trump dismissed the significance when told about it by US experts, so to me that was a critical failure.
 
What's really rather interesting to me is this is the country where most of our products are made. I wonder if the Coronavirus will change any of that now.
 
The moment you find out that you're whole entire life has been a lie. :mouthdrop
Taiwan is an island and part of China that the Empiror went to, in exile, with his followers.
They are Christian and capitalists. Now wealthy enough to buy mainland China.

During the Clinton or Bush presidency they changed to a "One China" policy and no matter which part of China the goods come from they are stamped "Made in China" Even though they might be made in Taiwan.
 
It surprises me to find this kind of negativity on a Christian Forum. What is the point of playing the "blame game." This outbreak is going to change the world for the better, we just don't know how yet. Just my opinion . . .
 
In addendum...
Hong Kong is a city that was owned by the British...
They have since relinquished control and it stands by itself. It tends to be more heathen or Buddhist. A few Christians...

It's not exactly China but still China. They rule themselves and fuss when Communist China tells them what to do.

Not disagreeing with you...
But Communist China has a lot to answer for on this one.

Those who were "in the know" knew last summer/fall that there was a new outbreak. Usually is one that time of year.
A less educated equivalent of a nurse practitioner noticed and blew the whistle in early winter.
It wasn't until January that they quarantined the epicenter.

Usually we hear in the early fall what the new outbreak is and everyone pulls hard to stop it...SARS, MERS, and etc are examples of this...yes some inconveniences but nothing serious.

Now the whole world is in a pandemic. Their silence and cover up is to blame.
 
Man continues to blame - The Work Of The Flesh - The Sin Nature

“12 And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat (Adam first of all blamed God, and then blamed Eve; he recapitulates the history, as if, in his view, it was a matter of course that he should act as he had done; man has been doing this ever since).

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that you have done? (The two questions, “Where are you?” and “What is this that you have done?” comprise the human problem.) And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat (presents Eve blaming the serpent; in a sense, she was blaming God as well, simply because God had made the serpent).” Exodus 3:12-13

The Blame Game is a non-productive way to blow off steam, but if this where your head is at I support you.

“12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood (our foes are not human; however, Satan constantly uses human beings to carry out his dirty work), but against principalities (rulers or beings of the highest rank and order in Satan’s kingdom), against powers (the rank immediately below the “Principalities”), against the rulers of the darkness of this world (those who carry out the instructions of the “Powers”), against spiritual wickedness in high places. (This refers to demon spirits.)

When someone commits murder...
A loved one is lost by the crime.

Sure, it doesn't do anything about the greif we feel at the loss of a loved one...but there are those who are responsible for making sure that the guilty party is brought to justice.

In this fashion... China is guilty. No one person who we personally know. Their government is...and there's a lot of them that were a party to keeping this secret.
And our Government (as well as others) is going to hold them accountable.
 
“1 The Earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they who dwell therein (God created the Earth, so it legally belongs to Him; sadly, it is now in rebellion against Him, being dominated more or less by Satan and evil spirit forces [II Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:2; I Jn. 5:19]; however, with the Second Coming, all of this will be rectified).

2 For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods (founded and established it above...).

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in His Holy Place? (Speaks of the time that Christ will enter Jerusalem and take His Place as the Ruler of the entirety of the world.)” Psalm 24

JSM

Nothing can happen by chance to a Believer or on this Earth without it first passing through Our Heavenly Fathers fingers first. We lean from the book of Job that Satan must get permission before he is allowed to do anything on Earth. The bible clearly states in the last of the last days which we are in, the world will not get better but worse. The Church is in apostasy as the bible said it would be. Because the Church is asleep the Lord has close the doors. The scripture says that judgement must always begin in the House of God. Because the Church has rejected the Cross, i.e., The Blood of Jesus, only a remnant will be saved. So draw near! Return to the Cross!

...and when I see the Blood, I will pass over you...

So true, John.


To be aware how this disease started and spread is a good thing, to help prevent something like this from happening again in the future.
